How to Install Froxlor on Windows 10

Froxlor is a free and open-source server management panel used for managing web servers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Froxlor on a Windows 10 machine.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:

• A Windows 10 machine.
• An internet connection.
• A web server (Apache or Nginx) installed on your machine.
• PHP installed on your machine.

Step 1 - Download Froxlor

To download Froxlor, visit the official website https://froxlor.org and select the latest version of Froxlor available for Windows.

Step 2 - Extract Froxlor

Once you have downloaded the Froxlor installation file, extract it to your web server document root directory. If you are using Apache, extract it to "C:/Apache24/htdocs/" and if you are using Nginx extract it to "C:/nginx/html/". Remember to replace "C:/Apache24/htdocs/" or "C:/nginx/html/" with your web server document root directory path.

Step 3 - Configure the Web Server

Next, we need to configure our web server to host Froxlor on your Windows 10 machine.

Apache

If you are using Apache, open the Apache configuration file "C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf" and add the following lines of code to the file:

Alias /froxlor "C:/Apache24/htdocs/froxlor"
<Directory "C:/Apache24/htdocs/froxlor">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Nginx

If you are using Nginx, open the Nginx configuration file "C:/nginx/conf/nginx.conf" and add the following lines of code to the file:

location /froxlor {
    root   C:/nginx/html/froxlor;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    root           C:/nginx/html/froxlor;
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include        fastcgi_params;
}

Step 4 - Install Dependencies

Froxlor requires a number of dependencies to be installed before starting the installation process. Here are the dependencies you need to install:

• PHP v5.5 or later
• MySQL or MariaDB

Step 5 - Run the Installation Script

Now that we have completed the necessary configurations and dependency installations, we can install Froxlor. Navigate to the Froxlor installation directory through your web browser using the URL "http://localhost/froxlor/". A setup page will be displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Froxlor on Windows 10. You can now access the Froxlor administrative panel by navigating to "http://localhost/froxlor/".
